It's a while since I had stayed at the Ochsen - it seems to have improved. There are very few business hotels in Zug. They are consequently rather expensive and simple. But the Ochsen delivers well. Good points: - the public areas are very stylish in a dated 60s sort of way - the location near the old town is... More

I travel to Zug on business fairly frequently. I used to say at the Swiss Hotel, but I now prefer the Ochsen. The rooms are simple, but clean and comfortable with everything you need (and free water!) Staying in town provides so many more options for dinner with lots of restaurants just a short stoll from the hotel. But you... More

The Ochsen is a lovely place to stay smack in the middle of Zug. Staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. The room was bright, spacious and impeccably clean. A large desk and complementary internet access offered a good working space. The beds were probably the most comfortable hotel beds we ever slept in. The very nice "Bettmümpfeli" (bedtime sweets) advertised... More

Just up the street from the Hotel Lowen you will find the Ochsen. Everything that is wrong with the Lowen is right at the Oschen. Better larger, cleaner rooms, better bathrooms, clean modern refurb with wood floors and simple Swiss hospitality. Water and Chocolates in the room with a personalised welcome note a nice touch. My colleague who came back... More

A lovely traditional hotel that caters to all your basic needs. Single bedrooms feel a little small but as you only sleep there it is sufficient. Staff very very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

the room was a typical business room, nothing missing but nothing exciting. I like the 60's furniture in the lobby and in dining areas, very nice.

I only stayed one night at the hotel (for business purposes). I stayed in a refurbished single room. It was clean and comfortable - not huge but an adequate size. The bathroom did not have a bath only a shower. It did have a kettle (tea & coffee), hair dryer and some toiletries - oh a slippers! There is not... More

Rooms are smallish, and spartan. Bathroom amenities could do with a friendly upgrade. Staff is efficient and friendly, breakfast buffet unsurprising. All in all, functional. The Singaporean sugar daddy with his young companion distinctly out of place in the breakfast area......the hotel is much more 'run of the mill'.
